Publisher's Summary

Transform the love you have for horses into a deep and lasting bond that is forged from optimal care for your horse’s health, a knowledge of the equine mind, and key strategies for communicating with your horse.

Finally! Your lifelong dream has become a reality—you are about to own your very first horse.

If you are a horse lover, it is very difficult to describe the unique sense of freedom and joy that arises every time you go horse riding.

Once you build confidence as a rider, you may go on to try a plethora of exciting activities—including racing, steeplechasing, and team sports.

You may even want to take your stallion or mare to a show, to get up close to other beautiful horses and exchange key information with other riders or owners.

Although you are excited, you may stay up at night wondering if you will be the very best owner or rider of the horse of your dreams.

It can sometimes seem like there are so many skills to hone—including caring for your horse, watching out for signs of injury, and tacking up your horse.

Here’s some good news for you—these skills are easy to learn, and while practice makes perfect, there are many skills you can perfect from day one.

The Complete Guide to Your First Horse for Young Riders is here to make the transition from horse lover to owner or rider, easy and fun. In this audio, you will find:

  • The fascinating history of the human-horse bond—and how humans and horses transformed from predator and prey into best friends.
  • All you need to know about horses—the correct terms to use at each stage of their life, plus the myriad of types and breeds to discover.
  • How horses are built, from nose to tail, plus all the hidden parts—such as the interior of their hooves and their mouths!
  • The 5 basic coat colors of horses, plus color breeds such as the Palomino, Pinto, and Appaloosa, and common variations.
  • How to feed your horse—including types and quantities of food.
  • The essentials of managing a barn—including paddocks, stalls, fencing, and more.
  • Safety and grooming tips to keep your horse healthy and beautiful.
  • How to understand your horse’s mind and read its body language.
  • Injuries and illnesses to detect and prevent.
  • How to tack your horse and care for your tack, plus what to wear to look sharp and feel comfortable all at once.
  • Tips on how to ride, plus engaging information on equine sports and activities you might want to try.
  • And so much more.

You don’t need to be an older adult or an experienced rider to build a beautiful bond with your horse. Everyone starts at the beginning and the skills you need to be a great equestrian start with knowing more about horses and their needs.

You don’t need to guess how to mount and dismount a horse or lead it to perform your chosen gait. The Complete Guide to Your First Horse for Young Riders provides you with a host of strategies and tips that will enable you to look the part and feel confident, practically from the first day you set out to ride.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
